so as winter approaches you may leave your donations of slightly used or brandy new galoshes (boots) at the entrance to the cave we call the town clerks office

all donation will be given to a Schenectady county charity for distribution to those in need this holiday season


for those less generous "Give Her The Boot"!!!!!

"Show me an 86 year old who isn't frail..... "

Look around you.  TH just honored Albert Califano 93--he goes bowling each week.  Rotterdam had a resident who was 99 and still bowling.  How about Nick Grasso--still practices law.  Maybe you know Rev. Robert Lamar, 88.  He has a list of awrads a mile long and sits on 22 boards.  Helen Quirini just died at 90--She put you to shame on more than one occasion. How about Ralph Boyd?  What a stupid thing to say.  BTW none of these people needed to run a round with some young thing to show they were still young and attractive.  These are just an iota of local folks who are far from frail and living their lives.  I could give you a list of names but confidentiality prevents it.

Is Buchanan still running the party?  Maybe they have already put him out to pasture.

If this were true, then EE didn't have to hand out all of those handicap tags w/o
a doctor note.

EE is trapped in her own mind and this makes her frail.

You guys seemingly can't stay on point. Fact: The town is in a fiscal jam. Fact: The town clerk's office is an easily trimmed source of taxpayer dollars that are going out the window. Fact: The town clerk is collecting what can only be described as a handout on top of the money she's already getting to hang out with her son in Florida for the past 8 months.

You don't even need to look at her past performance, her age, or anything! This is dollars and cents, and I find there's no 'sense' so to speak in paying for someone who never comes to work. Cut the salary, end of story. If someone stopped paying her, I'd bet you dollars to donuts she'd finally get the hint and retire. But when you're collecting $50k for sitting on you but, why mess with a good thing?

Stein did you get the moderate tone requested? EE has been a town treasure but it's really time to fish or cut bait. The present situation is not sustainable.

They can't terminate her salary, she's an elected official till the end of her term.  We have no choice in that respect

The Town Clerk is an elected position - so you can't zero out the salary.  You could legally reduce the salary -
but I am not proposing or suggesting that be done.

Are municipalities required to take out disability insurance on their employees (including elected)?  If she's disabled, shouldn't she have filed for disability and be receiving money from state disability insurance?

Isn't she committing some sort of fraud?

I said that in one of my earlier posts.  She should definitely be made to apply for disability.

Regardless of the Clerk's party affiliation, the current administration should be addressing this matter.  This situation makes Rotterdam the laughing stock of the Capital Region!

Sending her on disability does not lessen the salary that she was elected to receive till the end of her term. Nobody can take that away from her, she is legally entitled to that until the end of her term, either through election or retirement/resignation - neither of which I'd expect to come any time soon.

Putting her on disability pay would only end up costing NY'ers more - along with insurance, any public services she's entitled to, etc.

Bottom line, she needs to be told to retire - and a special election held, immediately.

MT is right again.  Except, she is not going to retire soon and you will not see a special election.  Even if she retires, I don't think a special election needs to happen immendiately.  I think an appointment can happen until the next election day.  No????  MT you answer because you are probably the only one who knows this answer.
